The prognosis of the weather report today was cloudless all the way to home and all day. After we came to Despenaperros, where the pigeons have to pass the mountains in Carolina, we saw that there is fog and the weather is heavy cloudy on 11:50 am. We asked on the petrol station in Carolina how the weather has been here. We got an answer that since 6 am the weather foggy. After we checked online the weather report and for Carolina it says it is sunny all the day... On 14:00 pm we called this petrol station and asked for another report, they told us that the fog begins to lift.

The pigeons flying 8 hours, we think that when they saw the cloud and fog stopped to fly and waited till the weather clear. Many pigeons that now arrived in the loft have mud on the legs. Lets see what will happen in the end of the day.

The race Tembleque 280 km made it impossible the dream of more than 200 pigeons return on the final.

For the respect and care of the pigeons we will change the race plan:
1. The semi-final of Torija 402 km is reduced to 350 km Driebes.
2. The final Soria 525 km is reduced to Alcolea del Pinar 450 km.

Soon the participation rules will be published for the long distance of 1000 km, after the final you can sign.

Yesterday we had a visit of Ramon Ortiz from the Canary Islands with his wife and friends. He has seen his pigeons and was impressed of the shape and the health.- Also the loft system and the view he has enjoyed.
Here is a photo of us after we made a lunch:

Since 38 years we (Rafael and Jose Ruz)
race racing pigeons, that was one of the worst races. If the first
pigeons fall around 800 m/m, it means that it will be hard flight
with a lot of lost pigeons. But here the first fallen with 1000 m/m,
which speaks for a normal race.

The pigeons were well prepared for the
race.

Currently 3 pigeons arrived injured
attacked by birds of prey, but that is normal for our area.

Tonight at 19:00 o´clock we recorded a
video of the pigeons that arrived yesterday and today.

The pigeons in a good form, also that
arrived late, and they in a good health condition. The video will be
released in the next days when the subtitles are ready.
